Coming down with a severe case of the winter blues? Well, you’re certainly not alone. While it may seem the vast majority of your social circle’s off gallivanting the Italian coast, the rest of us can be found close to home; enduring the harsh reality of an Aussie winter, merely dreaming of days spent ocean side and salty-skinned.
Whether we like it or not, the lure of our nomadic friends’ lustworthy social feeds is a difficult one to escape; simultaneously fed up at the sight of sun-soaked, Aperol Spritz laden days, while still graciously and vicariously living through their abundance of wanderlust-inducing adventures.
But if you’re one of the lucky ones soon to be embarking on your own mid-year escape – be it an adventure laced with snow-capped mountains, or en route to a cultural destination more famous for its cocktails and stunning coastline – packing a practical and polished suitcase is paramount.
